Searching for IT contracts, products, solutions or asking for quote requests from IT suppliers usually is time-consuming.

The arrangement of documents needed, criteria, publication, a collection of applications, opening bids and so on are stipulated by the tender committee.

Request a quote in ROI4CIO is a feature that a registered user can access on the card or product/solution page by clicking on the icon with the "$" sign.

There is an advanced feature of a quote request - “Price request” - available in the left menu. This option allows defining the required products or solutions by their categories and vendors and making a request for a business proposal for multiple products or solutions for a number of countries.

Price requests are sent to all IT suppliers offering these products or solutions in countries of the respective users and their locations.

The detailed request for a business proposal helps IT suppliers replying to the IT user with an individual commercial offer.

The IT user can see all quote requests and replies from suppliers in the same menu item “Price request”.
